Well, whatever the reason, an introduction post on Steemit is like a spotlight on the stage. It's up to you to take the opportunity and slay it and to show the crowd what you've got! Though it really isn't as hard since you're behind a screen like the rest of us here.
One thing to take note is the K.I.S. rule
Keep it Simple
Simplicity is always the best. Believe me when I say that Whales (large accounts) are watching. Whales only want to see Steemit grow, as this will make their investments grow too! And what better way to do that than by upvoting #introduceyourself posts to incentivize new members to stick around. Here we will detail some simple ways you can garner more attention and conversation towards your introduction post!
Your EVERY post
1. Provide some proof
The first way is to simply verify yourself! Send us a video or image of yourself timestamped. For instance a very popular way to follow is to hold up a piece of paper containing your Steemit ID and Date & Time and sharing that in your post. A "Steemit Sign" works best
A background about yourself. This can include your occupation, ambition, inspiration, hobbies, habits, interests, situation, condition, or even dislikes (since mutual disapproval does indeed attract). This gives users an idea of what kind of a person you may be like. A good start would be your History and what you've been through. Sincerity is key. Though remember to K.I.S and try not to drown everyone with minute details
3. Purpose on Steemit
Are you here to simply blog your everyday adventures? Share your photography? Reach out to the like minded to collaborate on projects? Share your super cool fidget spinner collection? Make money? Learn more about Cryptocurrency? Join a unique community and make some friends? To prove to mum not all strangers equate to danger? Whatever it may be, make sure to mention this as everyone is interested on the general purpose of those who join as the users decide the future!

4. Linking other social media accounts
Adding your Website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn or so into your Bio will prove to others you aren't just some bot on Steemit. Furthermore, you can benefit by sharing your Steemit content on such platforms to promote and invite new users.
5. User Verification
Do you already know an "Established" Steemit user? Why don't you try ask them to comment on your post so that others can view and verify that you are indeed a REAL LIVING BEING! The more "powerful" the person, the better. As this will give integrity to your post coming from someone who has earned is position
Never EVER forget to place the ''introduceyourself'' tag as your first tag, since it's one of the trending hashtags on Steemit, you can also use the introducemyself tag . Why, use Trending Tags? Simply because it is a very popular tag and everyone will see it. The remaining tags can be anything else, but the first Hashtag is the most important since it will be displayed alongside a post when users browse through Steemit's Post Feed
All in all, try to be creative and have fun with it. These are just a number of tips to help you gather as much attention as you can to your introduction post and to strengthen the quality and popularity of Steemit!
